Irina Nakhova’s ‘Rooms’ Recreated in Moscow

Meet the mother of Russian “total installations” who penetrated the boys-only club of the Moscow Conceptual Circle. The MMMA is exhibiting 40-years-worth of Irina Nakhov’s conceptual art. One of the ‘Rooms’ from her five-part, ground-breaking apartment installation is reconstructed in detail. Now go back to 1984 and pretend you’ve never seen that before. Ooh. Aah. “Rooms,” Irina Nakhova, May 19 – July 3, Moscow’s Museum of Modern Art, Moscow
